Day 6

Writing Practice

Thesis: What and Why

• What is happening and why?
• What did you notice and why is it significant?

Paragraphs:

• Point: mini thesis--a mix of the example and explanation
• Example: Specific detail you noticed that ties in with your thesis
• Explanation: Why your detail is important and why it ties in with your thesis

Your blog post will not mirror academic writing structures, but each post will still have a thesis (even if you don't state it the same way) and each should still have a Point-Example-Explanation (even if you have shorter or broken paragraphs)
